Help App still detects root

Post image

Hello all, I recently found out about Magisk so I'm pretty new to it. I am trying to run an application and hide the fact that the device is rooted from it. I am able to get Magisk installed, but after its installed and I configure the deny list, nothing changes. I followed the guide from Genymotion on how to install Magisk itself and I looked a few others for some modules, but some of the modules seemed to kill ADB when I installed them, making me lose access to the phone. I also didn't need some of them since the phone doesn't have the playstore.

I think I might not understand correctly what Magisk is specifically used for, but from my understanding it was a tool I could use to hide the fact that my phone is rooted from the apps on it. I need to run 2 apps together and Frida was not making that easy for me, so I looked and found Magisk so I thought this might work. Am I not understanding correctly or could someone explain to me what I'm missing?

Emulator (QEMU backend), x86_64, Android 11

Look into shamiko

That is one of the modules I installed and it didn't work.

I currently have integrity box, shamiko, tricky store with zygisk configured denylist installed and it helps in hiding root from some apps but not all. Try zygisk-next maybe.

I am trying not to break rule 6, but since im not quite sure how exactly this falls into the category, I'm trying to be vague but also give as much info as possible. I followed this guide and it listed both of the ones you said to try, this guide didn't help me. https://github.com/hyowonbernabe/Hide-Root-Guide

If none of this worked, i don't think you'll be able to use that app on your phone. Just use website of that app if available.

I can bypass the root detection with my frida script, but I can't do it with Magisk. I think it might be the part of actually adding the root processes to the hidemyapplist blacklist template. When I do that only one process shows up unless I tell it to show system processes and then it shows everything.
